Heckingame Info
 ☄ First Impressions ♚ VISUAL: Ruby is a short, young girl (around the age of thirteen). Two of her most defining features are the smattering of freckles on her face and her bright red bob cut hair. Besides that, her skin is almost unnaturally white, while her eyes are a stark black color. In Heckingame, Ruby takes the form of an angelic angel thanks to her new association with Heaven. She possess the usual aesthetics; a halo hanging over her head, two sets of black crows wings on her back, a lions tail, and even an extra set of eyes over her first. Interestingly, Ruby can make the eyes and tail disappear and reappear at will, letting her appear closer to her original self. ♚ FASHION: Ruby dresses mainly in a gothic lolita style. Favoring black clothes with some red and yellow highlights feature heavily, and not enjoying the colors yellow or pink. Despite her own fashion choices, Ruby doesn't even dress very elegantly. Rather preferring to dress somewhat plainly. ♚ PERSONALITY: Ruby is the "Happiest Girl in the World", a position she happily takes to. She's kind, wonderfully cheerful, always ready to help out a friend, and loves a good party any day of the week. Given that she's one of the best friends you could have, it's no wonder that she values her own friends just as much. She's content to wile away the days, playing games and following the latest creative trends, a skilled baker, just the smollest perfectionist and a romantic at heart. Even when she's down in the dumps herself (which she doesn't like to show to others) it doesn't take much for her to get back up again and face the day. ♚ SOUND: Ruby is voiced by Sarah Gordon making her voice light and chipper with a slight Canadian inflection. ♚ MENTAL INFORMATION: Ruby is a strong-willed little girl. Really, it's amazing how much she takes in stride. Very rarely does anything manage to get under her skin, but when it does it'll be sure to hurt. ♚ MAGICAL INFORMATION: For the most part, Ruby is a normal little girl. But now she's an angel, so there's some magical power there. Also, even as a human, Ruby had the odd ability to occasionally bring inanimate objects to life. Mainly in the form of small creations of hers, like a stuffed rabbit she affectionately named Mr Buns, or a snowman. The relative sentience, and even the amount of movement these beings have, is debatable. ☄ OOC ♚ PLAYER/PRONOUNS: Drizz, (He/They) ♚ CONTACT: ♚ TRIGGERS: Generally nothing! But if something does come up I'll be sure to mention it. ♚ BACKTAGGING: I'll always backtag. No worries there at all. ♚ FOURTHWALLING: Ruby won't be doing it herself, but if your character REALLY wants to be a fan of a semi-obscure canadian cartoon from the mid-aughts, go ahead. ♚ PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Ruby loves hugs! She'll never say no, though the amount of uncomfortableness involved will depend on how well she knows you. ♚ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: I'm open to the idea, just be sure to run anything by me that's like, obviously severe and would fuck Ruby up. ♚ RELATIONSHIPS: Ruby is a kid, though she's had a crush on a skeleton guy already. If you want something cute, we can probably plan something out. |

CHARACTER INFORMATION
Character Name: Ruby Gloom
Age: 13
Canon: Ruby Gloom
Canon Point: Episode 40
Character Information: On the outskirts of Gloomsville, a world of strange creatures, technicolor populations, sentient crows, and various monsters, squats a large mansion on a hill overlooking twisted crypts and crawling tombs. In that house lives a young girl and her gaggle of monstrous friends who... throw parties, hang out together, and go on adventures.
Truly, Gloomsville is "the bright side of the dark side".
There isn't very much to Ruby's life story, or that of her town. Whether or not Gloomsville earns its name in some part from her family or not (or if she's even human but that's a whole other discussion, she is human in this app), she is the owner of the mansion she calls home. The victorian homestead decked in her likeness, homes all of her friends, and the adjacent crows that like to hang out, with more than enough room to spare. Naturally, this is where most of the series takes place.
In the nature of cartoon sitcoms, there isn't really so much progression in the story. Not to say there is none. Early on, Ruby deals with everyday issues in the house, like throwing a surprise party that everyone thinks is either a celebration of her moving out, or her death. Or learning to welcome a new ghost into the house who needs to scare one of them to obtain all his ghostly abilities, but is too cute to make it work.
Several things are concrete: Ruby has lived with her friends for more than a few years, she has a crush on fellow housemate, Skull Boy, and Gloomsville is, somehow, on Earth. Despite the ghosts, sentient crows and bats, technicolor population, and the sentient moon. All normal things.
Family-friendly shenanigans ensue. Ruby helps her friend build a robot father to participate in the local science fair with him. She arranges a surprise party for the anniversary of the time her friend was saved from an ice flow. She helps repair a time machine her friend made so they can send Edgar Allan Poe's pet budgie back in time. She helps a sentient, french-accented venus flytrap with her writer's block. Everyone celebrates Yamween together. The house accidentally rockets into space and orbits the moon for a while. There's an extended musical special about Ruby letting her friend go off to discover who he is in Gloomsville, and then trying to get back to him because she realized how lonely it is. It's that sort of show, and if it's really necessary I could detail each one.
At the latest in Ruby's life, her canon point, she's taken a train ride through Gloomsville with her friends with the intention of picking up her cat, Doom Kitty, from the cat spa. Along the way, they save the trail from running out of control, stop an apparently dangerous stranger (who actually wanted to award them with the "True meaning of friendship" award). Ruby also accidentally threw herself from the train. A bit touch and go, but everyone got out of it unscathed, and Ruby got to pick up Doom.
The train was destroyed in the end, though. That's fine. It was a nice day to walk home.
Personality: One of the old slogans for the Ruby Gloom brand was Ruby saying she was so happy she could die. That... is about half true. The first half.
Ruby is the happiest girl in the world. Self-admitted to it, in fact. It's a position she takes rather seriously and proudly in her day-to-day. As much as a young girl with a cheery disposition can. There's hardly a time when Ruby isn't the brightest light in the room, and the very rare times that her mood is affected are always starkly noticeable. Even in her down times, she still tries to look on the bright side of things - if not for herself than to at least cheer up her friends. Of course, Ruby has the emotional awareness to know that simply being happy isn't always possible, or what's needed. She's just... naturally very easygoing, loving life, and enjoying the fun in things.
And one of the best things in Ruby's life are her friends. From her endless enjoyment of the unlucky Misery, to her quiet infatuation with Skull Boy, and everyone else she meets, Ruby never runs out of love, or patience, for her friends - her family. Even relatively new strangers- like the newly-appointed ghost, Booboo, receive nothing but her unfailing politeness and earnest advice... Although, she's been known to go overboard in the past in her efforts. Notably, she tries to help her friend, Scardey Bat get over his fear of flying, only realizing later on that she was pushing him into something he didn't want. On one account, she also fell for the charms of a cute bunny, who was trying to rob the mansion, and turned a blind eye to Doom's warnings until the truth was revealed. Naturally, if she ever reaches this point, she backtracks and apologies. Causing her friends strife with her encouragement is never the intention of her efforts. She's simply too empathetic for her own good sometimes.
Despite the obvious gothic influences, most of Ruby's hobbies are notably feminine. She loves to bake and cook, does arts-and-crafts with a particular fondness for stuffed animals (who possess the strangest tendency to come to life by her hand), and other fairly normal tastes; book reading, board games, listening to music, and parties. Ruby loves throwing parties, for as little justification as necessary ("Thankfully it's monday/tuesday/wednesday/the weekend" parties, just to name a few). But she does have her taste for the macabre: having picnics in the crypt, going monster-hunting, listening to detective thrillers and soap operas filled with delicious twists.
As the owner of the mansion's library, she's also quite well-read for her age. This reflects in her technical abilities, being able to build a steam-powered automated pancake maker, and later on helping Skullboy rebuild his time machine and rebuild his part of the house when it's accidentally destroyed. She's also got something of an analytic mind, as she leaps to play detective when one of her friends goes missing during a train ride.
Connecting back to her hobbies, Ruby also has quite the adventurous spirit. If her friends are on some sort of quest, Ruby's usually the one either leading the pack or providing quiet assistance to the leader. She likes to put on a brave face, leaping into danger to help a friend, or put a (polite) stop to a threat, but she also has her limits. Put her in a genuinely dangerous situation, or up against something terrifying, and Ruby will reveal that she's more scared than she appears. If anything, her bravery lies in the friends by her side; when they're together, she can accomplish almost anything.
Which isn't to say Ruby is invincible either! She's still a young girl; she can be fed up with others habits, she get sad, she gets scared. If she has a crush on somebody - like Skull Boy - she becomes adorably flustered as she tries to hide her true feelings for the sake of keeping things normal. But always, Ruby tries to look on the bright side of life, because why wouldn't you?
